Ukrainian Weekly by Tunis Shevchenko

On honoring Shevchenko From day to day, from night to night My summer passes; autumn creeps The non-existent poet of a non-existent nation, a non-existent Nearer; before mine eyes the light literature and a non-exisitent language - thus spoke the noted Fades out; my soul is blind and sleeps. Russian critic vissarion Belinsky of Shevchenko, the poet who would Everything sleeps; and І? І ponder: rebuild the spoken language of Ukrainian peasants into a literary Do 1 yet live, or do 1 wander, language, who became the central figure in the history of Ukrainian A dead thing, through my term of years, literature and a symbol of Ukrainian national revival in the 19th and A void of laughter as of tears? 20th centuries. Come to me, my fate! Where art thou? Clearly, he was much more than Belinsky's vitriol suggests. Oh, 1 have no fate. While other 19th century Romantic poets are associated with God, if Thou dost scorn to love me, national movements and revivals (Robert Burns of Scotland and Grant me but Thy hate! Alessandro Manzoni of italy come to mind), no other poet has become so engraved in his nation's consciousness as Shevchenko. Only let my heart not wither His poetry seems to have tapped into the collective unconscious of Slowly, day by day, an entire nation, kindled its spirit, articulated itsgoalsand verbalized Useless as a fallen tree-trunk its fears. Most all Ukrainians see in him their spokesman, the voice and Rotting by the way. soul of their oppressed nation. Let me live, and live in spirit Loving all mankind; Shevchenko, then, is a national obsession, in both a positive and Or, if not, then let my curses negative sense. Dr. Mykola Shlemkevych described the phenomenon u Strike the sunlight blind. this way: ... in the unconscious depths of the soul of Ukrainians Wretched is the fettered captive, slumber all the contents dredged to the surface by the poet, awakening Dying and a slave; at the sound of his words...

The Ukrainian curio shops abound in Shevchenko Grant me but Thy hate! memorabilia. Children barely out of diapers recite his poetry at special programs. Translated by E.L. Уоупієп All this in itself is not neccessarily bad. But in our well-intentioned efforts to immortalize the Shevchenko image, we may have inadvertently inverted an old American proverb — we may have lost Shall we ever meet again...? the trees for the forest. There is a real danger of losing sight of our role in giving the poet and by Taras Shevchenko his poetry relevance. Great poetry survives through the ages because, Shall we ever meet again, paradoxically, its meaning is adapted by the people who read it. in Or have we parted now forever, other words. Shevchenko's poetry teaches us nothing if we don't bring Carrying to the empty plains our own times and life experiences to it. Love's word, truth's word, to the deserts? The real threat to the Shevchenko image lies in the possibility that So be it!

Without our active input, the poet and his work Translated by Уега Rich would lose their relevance, and our commemorative programs and holiday seminars would be nothing more than pro forma excercises and reflex tributes. And that would truly be a tragedy. Shevchenko in world's languages

The panorama of Pereiaslav, seen across the Dnieper Shevchenko discovered himself. Frequently, before starting to write, he prays. This River, he mentioned for the third time in the short in his brief autobiography Shevchenko tells us is why for Shevchenko any type of art is "divine," the novel, "A voyage" it is interesting to note that after he about the conditions under which he wrote his first artists are "priests" or "embodied angels,"and music is mentioned the mood evoked in him by the sight of "divine harmony." This is why he believes that "verse exercises." He wrote them during "the bright, 2 Pereiaslav,oi.ce illustrated by a song, he proceeded to white summer nights" in the St. Petersburg Summer understanding beauty is being closer to God. This is his impression of the panorama seen across the Park. From these, his first "numerous attempts," we not a result only of learning the terminological cliches Dnieper in Kiev, illustrated by the Haydn oratorio. now unfortunately have only one - the ballad of romantic aesthetics. Shevchenko's outlook on art as The association between these landscpes, put to music, "Possessed" ("Prychynna"). This statement by "divine" and "holy" is a result of self-analysis, of so to speak, is quite apparent.7 Shevchenko is extremely valuable because it brings us observation of his own creative process and of the The musical element played an important role in directly to his creative laboratory right at the outset of nature of his experiences in general. Writing, he Shevchenko's perceptual impressions, as well as in his his poetic career. He began to write not in his tiny experienced a state of unusual "benevolence"; he creative process.

Before expounding this view, 1 should like to here: (1) a general elation, and (2) an unusual aesthetic notes, viewing a real scene that appealed to him, he introduce quotations from Shevchenko which permit arousal. The fact that the sight of nature evoked in heard a musical motif or even a whole complex of us to maintain that sometimes he "heard" his works as motifs that corresponded to the visual impression, in words and images with a melody, as a complete song, Shevchenko deep aesthetic emotions we know from the description already mentioned of his feelings as he in 1843 he wrote to O.

We will When 1 stress this point here, 1 do it in order to prove ably assume, the motifs of a Haydn oratorio.

by Alex Poszewanyk

CH1CAGO - The ODUM String Ensemble of Chicago released its second album of instrumental mandolin-music at the end of 1980. Professionals and critics alike 'have praised the recording, not because its performers are pleasant young people, whoappreciatc Ukrainian music and its performance and need the Ukrainian public's support, but because the album is of professional calibre and high musical quality. Anatole Yuryniak. author and critic, noted that this album "shows the continuing development and striving for perfection of the ensemble, its conquest of more complex musical compositions". Composer-bandura virtuoso Hryhory Kylasty was among the first to hear the trial pressing of thisalbum. After listening to it all evening and immersing himself in the sound, he expressed his surprize at the fullness of sound produced by this smallensemble. lhor Bilohrud. composer and professor of music, affirmed that this album is truly good and that the string ensemble has progressed and grown quite a bit since the release of its first album. The melodies recorded on this album include works of contemporary composers.

"Hamalia" is a classic example of this. There we have six different meters in a rather short poem, in longer poems of Shevchenko, such as "Kateryna"and "Haidamaky," the change in meter is even more pronounced. This cannot be explained by a mere change in emotions. The poetry of other lyrical poets par excellence does not exhibit this characteristic. On the other hand, it shoud be stressed that in the works of certain poets that satisfy us by achievements in their imagery the meter sometimes seems inappropriate, for instance, too fast for the content, a serious fault. We never find this in Shevchenko. He knows not only how to choose the appropriate rhythm for a given subject, but how, in the same meter, to write an elegy and to describe a feast or a dance. An example of this is the reflective elegy "A Sweet Girl with Black Eyebrows" ("Divcha Liube, Chornobryve"). it is written in the kolomyika form (8 plus 6). The sprightly poem "Hey,l was young and righteous" ("Oi Bula Ya Molodoiu Prepodobnytseiu") was written in the same form. Yet this does not disturb the seriousness of the mood Taras Shevchenko. Portrait by M. Bozhij. evoked by the first poem. We must assume that Shevchenko felt the meter of the elegy in a minor, not a The spontaneous fixing of a work in word-images had lived with his friend Steinberg, on the vasilevsky major key. The major-key melody corresponded to was frequently long prepared. Sometimes it was not island in St. Petersburg.

As has been proven by scholars, of images, even though there were propitious impuls– from his life of that time, when he and Sternberg had Shevchenko borrowed the modifications of the meter es. This was only a preparation forcreation. He had to been "poor but innocent like children," and after from Ukrainian folk songs, from sung poetry, where wait for a certain state of emotional agitation and for a mentioning "the family of pure, sensitive youth," he there is a fluctuating rhythm, since a song can be sung certain pulse rate for the images to be spontaneously was so "completely submerged in the beautiful past" in a slow or fast tempo. Shevchenko's tendency to created and put into words. We have a very vivid that he cried a little. This was a deep aesthetic follow the principles of Ukrainian folk poetry was not testimony by Shevchenko, an authentic description of experience: "a beautiful magic world full of alluring conscious. With him it was a result of the subconscious the preliminary and the immediate stages of the and gracious images," a world of moral beauty, influence of melody that sounded in him during the creative process. This is the story connected with the appeared before him. As always, this working of his process of writing a poem. writing of poem "The Seaman." The poem is not imagination bordered on reality: "1 saw these beautiful We lack space here for the thorough documentation extant and it is not certain that it was written, or if pictures, 1 touched them, І heard this celestial needed to prove that while writing Shevchenko written, completed,8 but this matters little; the harmony; in a word, 1 was possessed by the spirit of a "sang" his poems.

This tension is necessary for during the white nights; it was true also in his later meeting with his sister. But Shevchenko still did not write the poem, although he wanted to.
